1. Load the documents, and face down, toward the

center of the ADF paper chute and all the way into the ADF

until touching the bottom.

For single-sided scans, load the documents face down so

that the side to be scanned faces towards the paper chute.

For double-sided scans, load the desired page order of

documents face down so that the side to be scanned faces

towards the paper chute.

If you wish to scan both sides of a single page, the page need

only pass through the ADF once – you will need to set the

scan type to “Duplex.”

3. Adjust the paper width slider for the paper size

you are using. The paper width slider should be

gently touching both sides of the documents.

Attention

DO NOT load more than 100 sheets of paper (70 g/m2, 18 lb.) to the ADF.

Paper scanned from the ADF must be a minimum of 5.08 x 5.08 cm (2” x 2”, W x L).

Make sure there are no gaps between the document stack and the paper-width slider; otherwise,

the scanned images can be skewed.

they should never be wedged in so tightly that the process of feeding them through the scanner

is strained.

Do not load additional paper into the ADF while the unit is feeding and scanning.

LOADING DOCUMENTS

2. If you need to scan longer documents, pull

out the paper chute extension and stacker to

provide further support for the documents.
